Overweight

Childhood obesity is at record levels. Your child may not be at the point of obesity, but if your child is putting on excess weight, there can be serious health implications down the road if the issue is not addressed. 

There are certain periods in childhood where some extra weight gain is normal, for example, around the time of puberty. However, this is typically self-corrected when followed by a growth spurt.  

If your child seems to be putting on weight for no apparent reason, has a poor diet, is having issues with self-control or binging, these are issues that need to be addressed. Depending on the age of your child, weight can be a very sensitive issue so dealing with the situation in the right way is very important. 

  • Find out what factors may be contributing to your child's weight gain.
  • Learn about the appropriate foods for your child as well as proper quantities and proportions.
  • Discuss the best ways to deal with your child's weight issues and how to talk to them about it.
